Weird things to eat in San Francisco

“Are franchises available?” asked John Bennehoff. “Or do you think Spokane has enough morons to support one?”

Hard to say.

Spokane can be a pretty tough sell when it comes to new ideas.

The downtown grand prix, the festival of four cultures and former Mayor John Powers’ plan to plant a rooftop garden atop City Hall, to name a few.

If only the mayor had said it would be a marijuana garden.

Heck, half the town would have been there to help him come harvest time.

But there’s no denying that The Mill’s toast menu is a huge hit with mainstream San Franciscans:

Young urban hipster tech geeks who eat their toast with knife and fork and have money to burn.

Anyway, as I wrote in my column…

“After placing my order, I wandered over to a spot by the counter where I could watch my designated toastmaster. He was a young man with a moustache and a lock of brown hair that dangled uncomfortably all the way down onto his nose.”

This man apparently skipped the hairnet chapter while studying to get his State Toastmaster Certification.
